ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance Reference Manual
B-2 Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports (Dual-WAN Port Models Only)
v1.0, January 2010
• Protocol binding
– For auto-rollover mode, protocol binding does not apply.
– For load balancing mode, decide which protocols should be bound to a specific
WAN port.
– You can also add your own service protocols to the list.
2. Set up your accounts
a. Obtain active Internet services such as cable or DSL broadband accounts and locate the
Internet service provider (ISP) configuration information.
• In this manual, the WAN side of the network is presumed to be provisioned as shown
in Figure B-1, with two ISPs connected to the UTM through separate physical
facilities.
• Each WAN port must be configured separately, whether you are using a separate ISP
for each WAN port or you are using the same ISP to route the traffic of both WAN
ports.
• If your ISP charges by the volume of data traffic each month, consider enabling the
UTM’s traffic meter to monitor or limit your traffic.
b. Contact a Dynamic DNS service and register FQDNs for one or both WAN ports.
3. Plan your network management approach
• The UTM is capable of being managed remotely, but this feature must be enabled locally
after each factory default reset.
NETGEAR strongly advises you to change the default management password to a strong
password before enabling remote management.
